The Ministry of Labor issued the mandatory reconciliation for a working period of 10 days from this Monday at midnight in the conflict between the Unión Tranviarios Automotor (UTA), which had ordered forceful measures in bus services, and the Argentine Federation of Automotive Passenger Transport (fatapp).
Law 14,786 on compulsory conciliation was imposed by the National Director of Labor Relations and Regulations, Gabriela Marcellowho framed the salary situation in the context of that norm as of midnight on Monday because the conflict would prevent “the normal operation of companies, with serious damage to society.”
The labor official assured that trade unionists and businessmen should return the situation to the one that existed prior to the start of the conflict and for those 10 days.
Marcello ordered the union organization and the workers included in it to rescind during that period “all direct action measures that they were implementing and/or planned to apply, providing services in a normal and habitual manner,” and he did the same with the companies affiliated with Fatap, which he ordered to refrain from taking reprisals of any kind against UTA personnel.
It also called on the parties to maintain “the best predisposition and openness to negotiate the issues on which they maintain differences and thus contribute to social peace and the improvement of labor relations in the companies involved,” he said.
The official summoned trade unionists and businessmen to a virtual hearing for 11 this Thursday in an attempt to evaluate “the progress of the negotiations.”
The UTA, led by Roberto Fernández, had decided to initiate forceful measures from midnight on Monday in all the short and medium distance companies associated with Fatap.
